CK2 - How to Declare War/Raid (Beginners)
92In this video: CK2 - How to Declare War (Beginners) I try in a casual way to go through how the battle is done in Crusader Kings 2. Declaring war in Crusader Kings 2 might be tricky. Depending on the situation you might have to fabricate claims, subjugate, force vassalization, and many more different options. If you thinking about getting CK3 - getting familiar with how warfare is done in ck2 might help a lot!
Also will show how you will do raiding.

Army info(ck2 wiki):
In a battle, each side has up to three flanks:
Left flank
Center flank
Right flank
These flanks will fight separately against the same flank on the opponent's side. Each flank has a commander, and its own units. To have more than one flank you need multiple armies, though they can be merged into one.
When a flank no longer has an equivalent flank to attack, it will help another flank instead. It will now also get a flanking bonus of 30%, meaning it does 30% more morale and troop damage. The enemy flank will now be under attack from two flanks, thus taking much more damage.
Attack Phase:
Skirmish: All battles will start in the Skirmish phase. This is when archers and horse archers excel, and they will be the only ones doing any major damage.
Melee: After a few days, it will switch to the Melee phase, where melee oriented units like heavy infantry and pikemen excel. Note that flanks do not necessarily have to be in the same phase as each other, and they'll usually enter Melee at slightly different times.
Pursue: When the morale of a flank reaches 25%, they will start retreating, and combat will switch to the Pursue phase. This is where light cavalry truly excels, but heavier cavalry does well also.
Retreat: After 5 days, the flank will be removed from combat. Also terrain modifiers will change your outcome - like move over a river and attack = heavy penalty. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npfpcIGG-oQ&t=565s (terrain modifiers)
